What exactly is protein cocoa & Reese's shakes? (how do you make them?)
Protein cocoa is just chocolate whey protein in hot water, with stevia or splenda. You can top it with whipped cream if desired.
Reese's Shake is a protein shake made with chocolate whey protein.
To make a Reese's Shake, blend the following:
1/2 cup cottage cheese 2%
1 cup water
stevia or splenda
1 tsp peanut butter
15 gm chocolate whey protein
Blend all above ingredients. Add 1 cup ice and blend again.

One blog reader tried this. He lost 9 pounds his first week.
He is now working with his doctor to adjust his meds.
There is no better appetite suppressant than protein. No pill or powder curbs appetite as well. Whey protein also builds muscle as you lose fat, so you don't become flabby as you lose weight.

For people who are semi vegetarian, another idea for lunch is a hummus sandwich. Using a whole grain pita, coat inside with hummus. Add avocado, veggies, feta cheese and some balsamic vinegar and VIOLA! A yummy and healthy sandwich.
Vegetarian? Absolutely! But remember, you must hit your fat, protein and carb targets on the left side panel, according to sex and height.
Whey protein is a wonderful addition to a vegetarian diet. It is lactose free, and alkalinizes the body. It builds muscle and helps accellerate calorie burning, thus lower glucose readings over time.
So, don't be a fat vegetarian! Too much emphasis on carbs, carbs by themselves, and not enough protein is the reason most of us are diabetic. But it is possible to hit your protein, fat, and carb targets with the use of whey protein!
